Standard Bank Group Limited is a large South African bank and financial services group. It is Africa’s largest lender by assets. The company’s corporate headquarters, Standard Bank Centre, is located in Simmonds Street, Johannesburg.
Standard bank history
The bank now known as Standard Bank was formed in 1862 as a South African subsidiary of the British overseas bank Standard Bank, under the name The Standard Bank of South Africa.
The bank’s origins date back to 1862, when a group of businessmen led by prominent South African politician John Paterson formed a bank in London, initially under the name Standard Bank of British South Africa. The bank began operations in 1863 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and shortly after opening it merged with several other banks, including Commercial Bank of Port Elizabeth, Colesberg Bank, British Kaffrarian Bank and Fauresmith Bank.
In March 2019, Standard became the first bank in Africa to switch its operations to Amazon Web Services.
In March 2019, the bank announced a reduction of 91 branches and 1200 employees. The decision was taken due to the increasing use of self-service channels and the loss of relevance of the branch network.
Standard Bank expansion and acquisitions
In 1992, the bank acquired ANZ Grindlays Bank operations in eight African countries. Most of the newly acquired banks were renamed Stanbic Bank to avoid confusion with the former parent (and now competitor), Standard Chartered, which continued to operate in Africa. Several other banks in Africa were acquired during the 1990s and adopted the Stanbic name. Standard Bank now operates under the name Stanbic Bank in Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
